A Marten’s stroll at Emerald Lake

When we stayed at the Emerald Lake Lodge in May, our cabin’s deck overlooked the path and the lake beyond.  While sitting outside to enjoy the view, I noticed this little fellow coming down the path.

He looked surprised when I stood up and circled back to have a quick look around.

I said good morning and he carried on with his plans.

I did happen across him the next day as well, this time near a path in the forest but I missed a decent photograph as he darted in and out of the foliage faster than I could find and focus.
